Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote about a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained wide-ranging medical education with an emphasis on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to manage complications stretching from general ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which furnish them the experience essential to conduct surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of many complications which the feet generally encounter.
